If my husband doesn’t get a new cpap

[Anonymous]

I may stab him in the eye. 3 months it’s been broken. He’s either a sawmill with a megaphone or choking in his sleep. My eardrums feel bruised.


Thank goodness he’s cute. It’s keeping this man alive!

That’s what the machine is for too.

Mine is currently sleeping in a different room. F that.

Cuteness can only take you so far, especially when it interferes with precious sleep. What’s going on with the old one? I assume he feels terrible being off of it?

Every single night that he sleeps with a broken CPAP not fully functioning, his organs are being starved for oxygen and weakened by that. It's one thing for a person in their 20s or 30s to refuse CPAP therapy, but for somebody at midlife it's just dumb.

Midlife men are already at very high cardiac risk, even if they screen fine the stories of such cases in my experience are plentiful. He should be doing whatever he can to take care of his heart and that means making sure it has full oxygenation 24/7. M

Maybe you need to stay up one night and take pulse oximeter readings from him in his sleep every hour so you can show him why he needs to get his butt in gear and get his machine replaced.

A stubborn man who won’t prioritize his health all while disturbing his wife at night.

Ugh.

+1 Sleep divorce was the best thing I ever did for my health. DH refuses to get a cpap. He’s welcome back when he does!

Lofta, you can have it by Tuesday

Oh yes. He’s been made aware.

By myself AND his doc

Why hasn’t he replaced it or gotten it fixed? Inertia? Cost?

What a sick thing to write. Just sleep in separate bedrooms.

Sleep in separate rooms. It’s not rocket science.

Oh my goodness, gracious. Why so serious?

Obviously, I’m not going to harm him. And not everyone has a separate bedroom.

You can get a recording pulseox for fairly cheap. A piece is taped to this finger/thumb and the body of it is strapped like a watch on the wrist. It will record all night so he can see how bad it is. I recommend this all the time for people who are worried they may have sa but don't want to go through the sleep test.
